Dear Mr John,
I am writing
this
email to express my annoyance with the noise of repair work happening in your apartment since last
week. Please allow me to explain.
I am hearing the continuous banging on walls using heavy tools and it has been going on all day since last
week. I am preparing for my final year examination as it is imperative for me to concentrate on my studies and score good grades. I am trying to cut down the unwanted noise, however
, I am not able to and it is getting worse.
As I do not use a phone and I have not seen you around in a while
, I have decided to contact you by post.I would like to ask whether it would be okay for you to close the windows and doors that are facing towards my apartment which would help to minimise the sound, otherwise
, I have to talk to the building manager to take appropriate action.
I hope you can understand my situation and I am hoping to resolve the issue without causing ill-feeling between us so we can remain good neighbours.
I look forward to hearing your response and please let me know if you have any questions.
Yours sincerely,
